Commitment to Businesses
The Town will:
- Work with businesses to carry out construction in a way that balances the speed of the work with an acceptable amount of disruption.
- There’ll be direct communication between the Town & construction team with those affected.
- Ensure business continuity:
- We’ll keep pedestrian & delivery access open for businesses & residences.
- Temporary access will be provided during construction.
- Water & sewer services will continue throughout construction, except for minor disruptions of 1-2 hours when temporary services are installed & removed.
- Construction impacts avoided/minimized where possible.
- Understand the needs of businesses; work cooperatively to maintain function during construction.
- Improve curb appeal & transitions between public and private spaces after construction.
Marketing & Communications Toolkit
Downtown Okotoks is entering an exciting new chapter with major infrastructure and streetscape upgrades.
These improvements will modernize underground utilities, enhance walkability and create more vibrant public spaces. We understand that road closures and construction are frustrating and we truly appreciate your patience as this important work gets done.
With these expected construction impacts, the Town and our marketing consultant, Full Blast Creative, have developed toolkit to help your business stay visible, connected and supported throughout the process. This resources includes practical marketing advice, communications templates, promotional ideas and contact information to help you adapt and thrive during construction.
Have a look, utilize the resources and let us know if you need any help!
